State deputy sheriffs fired three or four rounds into the driver's side of a car driven by a man who was trying to run them down, Department of Public Safety officials said.

The shooting happened at about 9:30 a.m. on Kalukalu Street in Waipahu as the deputies were trying to serve a $100,000 warrant on Kevin N. Pacheco, Deputy Public Safety Director James Propotnick. The warrant was for eight separate charges including drug and firearm violations and forgery, he said.
